What Is the Telegram Chat Module?
The Telegram Chat module adds a floating Telegram button to your PrestaShop store, enabling customers to reach you via Telegram — the cloud-based messaging platform with 900 million monthly active users and one of the fastest growth rates of any messaging app globally. One click opens a direct conversation with your Telegram account, bot, group, or channel.
Telegram stands apart from other messaging platforms with its speed, cloud sync, unlimited storage, massive group capacity (200,000 members), channels, and a powerful bot API that enables automation far beyond what any other messenger offers. For ecommerce, this means you can build automated support bots, order notification systems, and product catalogs — all within Telegram.
